Bella POV
My eyes fluttered open and I took out my earphones. I sighed. Last night wasn't a dream. I was still in that same room, the pillows were still tear stained, and my iPod was still on Unbeautiful. I turned it off and looked around the room. The bed I was laying on had a dark green and brown weave pattern all along the blankets, and all he pillows were a dark earthy brown. The bed frame was simple and mostly hidden by the sheets. The nightstand was a dark oak and on top of it was a book, written by Stephan King. The floors were a dark wood, and I got up and traveled across the left wall. Right next to the bathroom door, was a large bookshelf, and it was completely covered in magazines, except in the right hand corner. There, there were four books. A book in European writing, a book about the Civil War, Romeo and Juliet, and WutheringHeights. I smiled at my two favorite titles and continued looking at the room. On the right side of the room, there was a large desk, once again a dark oak, and it was cluttered with papers, pens, and books. I took in the entire room and realized it was very spacious, but it didn't feel that way. In fact, it felt much closed in and small. I guessed it was because of the three walls painted a murky green color and the one other wall painted a plain brown. I went into the bathroom and saw lettering above the bathroom mirror that I didn't notice before.
Alice and Jasper forever…
I stifled a gasp, and then mentally kicked myself for not seeing it earlier.
I quickly washed my face and then put my hair in a ponytail. After I was content of my drowsy appearance, I headed down the stairs.
Jasper POV
I heard steps coming down from the stairs and saw Bella coming down. I stood and greeted her.
"Goodmornin' darlin'. Esme made breakfast for you. She and Carlisle went hunting, so she wanted to make somethin' for you." I realized my Texan accent was coming out easily. Bella sweetly smiled and nodded, and opened her mouth to say more, but then quickly closed it and headed to the kitchen. Esme had made pancakes with blueberries, and Bella served herself two. She sat down and eagerly scarfed down two bites before stopping herself. I sat down next to her. She turned to me then.
"What happened last night?"
I looked down, not wanting to tell her.
"Edward and I fought." I finally admitted after a moment's silence.
"Nothing too serious of course." I assured her, sensing her sudden emotion change to shock and worry. "Carlisle and Emmett stopped it before it could get ugly. It was just…spur of the moment I guess." She nodded.
"So they're in Denali? Together?" She struggled saying the last word and I flinched hearing it, but I nodded.
"This isn't easy…" I looking up at her, surprised to see she was already looking straight at me. "But we're in this together. Edward may be leaving you, but I'll always be here for you Bella." She smiled, and replied in a soft voice. "Thank you Jasper. I'll be here for you too. I'll be here as humanly possible." I smiled.
All of a sudden Emmett came into the kitchen.
"Bella bear! I'm here for you too Bells!" He hugged her and Bella awkwardly hugged back, but she was radiating thankfulness.
"Bella." It was Rosalie; she was standing in the kitchen door.
"Hi Rosalie." Bella said shyly.
"Bella, I know I haven't been the jolliest person to be around…hell, I've been a bitch. But I'm here too. So it's a clean slate. Truce?" She looked at Bella hopefully, and she nodded and smiled, and they both stood and hugged each other.
"Yeah, yeah, happy, happy. Now its human time!"
"Human time?" Bella asked, looking at Emmett.
"Yeah! Let's play…truth or dare!" He clapped and started making his way to the living room. Bella and Rosalie looked at me pleadingly, and I smirked. They left to the living room, and not long after did Emmett scream, "You too Jasper!" And as I entered the living room, Rosalie and Bella had smirks of their own.
"Ok! I'll go first! Rosalie, truth or dare?" Emmett eagerly asked.
"Umm, truth." She replied.
"Is it true that you eat human food behind everyone's back?"
"Why would I do that?"
"Because it tastes good."
"You would know?"
"Whatever! It's your turn…" Emmett pouted at his mini brawl with Rosalie.
"Fine. Jasper, truth or dare?"
"Dare." I said, knowing she would not do anything to crazy.
"I dare you to clap your hands three times."
I smiled and clapped three times. Rosalie smirked, Bella chuckled, and Emmett looked plain out confused.
"Bella, truth or dare?" I asked after I finished clapping.
"Dare." She said confidently.
"I dare you to sing the alphabet."
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ." She sang quickly and looked at a dumbfounded Emmett.
"What kind of dares are these?!" Emmett threw up his hands.
"Not weird one's that you would choose." Rosalie said under her breath.
Suddenly Bella yawned out of the corner of my eye, and I stood, taking Bella.
"Come on, your tired. Let's go." She didn't put up a fight like I thought she would. Instead she smirked. Wait, what?
Bella POV
When we reached upstairs, he led me back to his room and sat me on the bed.
"Ok, well just go to sleep and if—"I rolled my eyes and cut him off.
"I'm not tired."
"But you yawned."
"If I didn't yawn, we would've been stuck down there for who knows how long."
He smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, he looked at me.
"How are you holding up Bella?"
I looked up at him.
"Its…it's like last time…just not as bad."
He nodded, knowing what last time was. The ironic thing was the last time he left, it was partly Jasper's fault.
"Why is it not as bad?" He asked me.
"You're here. Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie, they're all still here, keeping me from losing my mind."
He nodded and picked up something. He held it in his lap, and I realized it was my iPod. I tried to take it from him, but he sent off a wave of unconcern, probably feeling my embarrassment. Stupid empathy. He saw the song that was playing and listened to it. In the longest 3 minutes of my life, he heard the words, I so very much related to. When he finished, he gave me a look, making me look in his deep golden eyes.
"Bella, its not your fault. You'll always be beautiful in my eyes, and in everyone's eyes, no matter how blind Edward will be, ok?" Tears came to my eyes, and I merely nodded. And then Jasper hugged me. And I cried.
That night I lay down, thinking about all the human games Emmett made me play, and what Jasper had told me earlier. What Emmett and Rosalie told me. That they would be with me, no matter what. I thought about Edward and Alice, and suddenly I felt the piercing in my stomach, and my body dared me to scream, but my lips were sealed, also sealing in the burning pain. I decided to avert my attention to the music playing in my ears. I laughed in spite of myself, and realized, that even though I wouldn't get over Edward by Friday, I would be ok! Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Esme, and Carlisle would be with me. Even if the pain in my stomach told me otherwise.
